Crusty Booger Nuggets

The object here is to make these all look slightly different, as each and every booger is unique and special. 

 

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk 
  • 5 1/3 cups flaked coconut (about 14 ounces) 
  • 1 large pkg lime Jell-o 
  • 1 cup ground, blanched almonds 
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  1. In large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut, 1/3 cup of the unprepared Jell-o, almonds, and almond extract. Mix well with a large mixing spoon or rubber spatula. 

  2. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for about an hour or until mixture is firm enough to mold in your hands. 

  3. Scoop by 1/2 teaspoonfuls and shape into various-sized booger balls. Place them on a baking sheet, lined with a sheet of waxed paper. Make sure they are all slightly different. 

  4. Place a second sheet of waxed paper on your work surface and pour remaining unprepared Jell-o on the center of waxed paper. 

  5. Roll each ball in Jell-o to coat well and create a thin outer layer, then place back on the baking sheet. 

  6. Return boogers to the refrigerator for an hour before serving, and store any extras in the refrigerator. 

Makes about 5 dozen just-picked treats.
